# Exit Options Review

## When to use

Use this skill at the point where the fund is deciding how to exit, not whether -- usually 12-24 months before the intended realisation, and again whenever something moves the decision: a debt market that reopens or shuts, an unsolicited approach, a fund whose life is running down, or LPs pressing for DPI. Run it before a bank is mandated: once an advisor is appointed the process design is largely fixed, and a route chosen for the wrong reason is expensive to reverse.

## What it does

Produces a like-for-like comparison of five routes -- trade sale, sponsor-to-sponsor, IPO, continuation vehicle, continued hold -- each scored on achievable value net to the fund, certainty of completion, time to liquidity, and the readiness work required. It ends with a primary route, a fallback, and the conditions that would switch between them.
